From 2018 to 2019, U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell faced significant challenges due to trade tensions. The U.S. government's frequent tariff increases created uncertainty for economic growth and business investment. Powell maintained a gradual interest rate hike policy to stabilize the economy while warning that higher tariffs could harm the U.S. economy. In 2019, as economic risks increased, he shifted to a preventive rate cut strategy. In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic led to a stock market crash and a spike in unemployment, nearing 15%. Powell responded with unprecedented measures, including rapid interest rate cuts to 0%-0.25%, open-ended quantitative easing, and emergency loan programs to support corporate and municipal financing. Between 2021 and 2023, the U.S. faced soaring inflation, reaching a 40-year high with the PCE annual rate nearing 7% in June 2022. Powell initially adhered to the "transitory inflation" narrative, causing policy delays. Upon recognizing the misjudgment, he initiated the most aggressive rate hike cycle since the 1980s, raising rates to 5.25%-5.5% by March 2022. In 2023, aggressive rate hikes exposed "interest rate risks," leading to the collapse of regional banks like Silicon Valley Bank. The Fed continued with a 25 basis point rate hike to control inflation but stopped committing to further hikes. It also launched a new bank term funding program to prevent crisis spread. As Powell's term nears its end from 2024 to 2026, he faces dual challenges. Economic and inflation issues persist, with inflation stagnation and economic slowdown, compounded by the 2026 U.S.-Iran conflict. Powell must balance the Fed's dual mandate. Additionally, U.S. President Donald Trump's dissatisfaction with Fed policies has led to unprecedented political pressure, challenging the Fed's independence. In response, Powell adopted a "stop-and-go" monetary policy, starting a rate cut cycle in September 2024 but pausing due to inflation concerns. The U.S.-Iran conflict and rising energy prices have heightened inflation worries, prompting Powell to emphasize caution regarding geopolitical impacts on inflation expectations. To defend the Fed's independence, Powell has firmly countered Trump's rate cut demands and responded strongly to the Justice Department's threats, announcing his intention to remain a Fed governor after his chairmanship ends.

Huayuan Securities recently released a research report suggesting that the humanoid robot industry may gradually transition from small-scale validation to a new '1-10' phase. According to Jin10, the report recommends focusing on upstream components and main manufacturers. Upstream components are expected to benefit first due to cost advantages. For main manufacturers, increased production and capitalization are likely to lead to full valuation pricing. However, the report also warns of potential risks, including slower-than-expected progress, lower-than-expected sales, and deteriorating industry policies and competition.

SK Hynix is on the verge of joining the trillion-dollar market cap club, following Samsung Electronics' recent milestone. According to Odaily, driven by strong demand in the artificial intelligence sector, South Korea has become a central hub in Asia's AI boom. After an impressive 274% increase in 2025, SK Hynix's stock has surged over 200% this year. If SK Hynix crosses the trillion-dollar threshold, South Korea will be the first market outside the United States with more than two companies exceeding this valuation. "The current market is largely driven by 'fear of missing out' (FOMO), particularly evident in AI-related stocks in Japan and South Korea," said Fabien Yip, a market analyst at Sydney's IG Group.

Bitcoin company Nakamoto experienced a remarkable 500% increase in revenue during the first quarter, following two strategic acquisitions in February aimed at enhancing its presence in the Bitcoin ecosystem. According to Cointelegraph, despite a net loss of $238.8 million, Nakamoto CEO David Bailey described the quarter as a 'transformational period' for the company. This transformation was marked by the acquisition of Bitcoin-focused news outlet BTC Inc. and investment platform UTXO Management. Nakamoto's revenue sources were diverse, with over $1.1 million generated from its new Bitcoin treasury and derivatives strategy, $800,000 from its media business, $500,000 from healthcare operations, and $200,000 from asset management services. The company attributed a significant portion of its net loss to a $107.7 million non-cash reduction related to a pre-acquisition option and a $102.5 million mark-to-market loss on its 5,058 Bitcoin treasury, as the cryptocurrency's value dropped by 23% during the quarter. The Bitcoin treasury sector has faced challenges over the past year, with Bitcoin's value down 37% from its peak, leading some analysts to question the viability of buy-and-hold strategies. Many Bitcoin treasuries, except for Strategy and Metaplanet, have slowed their Bitcoin purchases over the last year, with some using their Bitcoin reserves to pay off debt. Nakamoto has been significantly impacted by this downturn, with its shares plummeting over 99.2% from their all-time high. The company did not purchase any Bitcoin during the quarter but sold 284 Bitcoin on March 31 to cover operational expenses. Nakamoto's stock (NAKA) rose 2.7% to $0.18 in after-hours trading following the release of its financial results. The company emphasized that BTC Inc. and UTXO Management would be foundational to its long-term growth within the Bitcoin ecosystem. Despite only a partial quarter of contributions from these acquisitions, Nakamoto achieved a sixfold revenue increase, as the deals were finalized on February 20. Looking ahead, CEO David Bailey stated that Nakamoto's focus for the remainder of 2026 is on execution, scaling operating businesses, expanding revenue opportunities, and building durable shareholder value through disciplined capital allocation and a long-term commitment to Bitcoin. One strategy involves using the company's Bitcoin holdings as collateral for yield-generating derivatives strategies. Additionally, Nakamoto plans to wind down its healthcare business by the end of the second quarter to concentrate more on Bitcoin-related activities. The company rebranded from KindlyMD in January after merging with a Utah-based healthcare provider in August.
